Karuna-Shechen offers local, sustainable solutions that improve the living conditions for over 250,000 people every year in remote villages of northern India, Nepal, and eastern Tibet.

Rooted in altruism, our work is based on the active participation of rural communities, respectful of cultural heritage, and dedicated to preserving local natural resources. Our aim is to develop projects that in the future can be sustained by the villagers themselves, independent of external help.
